2013 Map of Dickshooter Reservoir

About this map

Dickshooter sits at the center of this 2013 high-desert landscape in Owyhee County, defined by a complex system of drainage and seasonal water sources. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation shifts, ranging from the prominent Flatiron Butte in the west to the deeply carved walls of Black Canyon and Box Canyon in the south and north. Water management is central to the area's geography, anchored by the Dickshooter Reservoir and supplemented by isolated water points like Antelope Spring and Albert Spring. The map traces the winding paths of Lightning Cr and Cowboy Cr, which cut through the high plateaus of Antelope Basin and Cowboy Basin. Historically significant for its namesake settlement and remote ranching access via Dickshooter Rd, the sheet illustrates the relationship between these scarce water features and the surrounding rimrock and gulch topography.
